09 January 2017, 14:18

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine strongly condemns the acts of terror that have been recently perpetrated, in particular in Egypt, Israel, Iraq and Turkey, resulted in dozens of victims and more than one hundred of badly wounded.

We express our sincere condolences to the families of the victims and wish a speedy and full recovery to those injured.

The surge of terrorist attacks, which has been recently observed, once again proves the need for the international community to consolidate efforts in order to combat this reprehensible phenomenon which poses a serious threat to the whole civilized world.

Such acts of violence, which cause deaths of innocent people, constitute criminal offenses and have no justification, no matter under whatever slogans they may have been committed.

On February 13, 2018 Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin took part in the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS ministerial meeting held in Kuwait and co-chaired by Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Kuwait Shaikh Sabah Al-Khaled As-Sabah and US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
